Mayor Buddy Dyer has declared that Saturday, September 13, 2014, is The Gift of Life Day and every resident of Orlando and surrounding cities should attend this event in support of premature babies.

Message from Mayor Buddy Dyer:

On September 13, 2014 an exciting fundraiser will take place at the Rosen Centre Hotel. Inspired by Rosie Moore’s own story of the struggles families face who have premature babies, this event seeks to raise funds for equipment for supporting Florida Hospital for Children, The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Proceeds will also go towards the making of the movie, A Story of Faith, to be filmed in part in the hospital which will provide additional resources for families whose children are patients in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Rosie’s son Kaleb was born at 1lb 10 oz and 27 weeks at Florida Hospital for Children in Orlando. Rosie has written a book called A Story of Faith which the movie will be based upon.

The event is called The Gift of Life and will involve a sit down dinner and both a silent and live auction component.
